 "about": "The licence of each model under test, as its publisher states it. For open-weight models: the licence field of the model's card on Hugging Face (its API, https://huggingface.co/api/models/<id>) and, where the card says more, the card's own sentence. 'allows' is our short reading of the licence named, not legal advice: the linked text decides. Commercial models publish no weights; they are used under their provider's terms.",
